Having been told by a well meaning physio that I should accept the fact that I will suffer increasing pain throughout my life, (degenerative spinal condition), I am searching for ways to minimise my pain and maximise my future physical abilities with minimum medical intervention. Having been very active, I am finding myself more restricted. The frustration is almost unbearable. To know this will only get worse is quite daunting to comprehend. Anyone out there in a similar situation with tried and tested coping mechanisms or general positive suggestions?
My current options include yet another caudal epidural or fusion inducing surgery. Five damaged disks and facet joint pain. My muscles are in permanent spasm and I have typical sciatic pain in my right leg which causes me to lose sensation right down to my foot and limp.
The smoke isn't a viable option, I quit all inhaled substance 10 weeks ago.
I used to ride horses for at least 4 hours and practice yoga daily.
